It seems all if we must
admit that the fall season
has really opened. At least,
the temperature has lost
a good deal of its, mustard
seasoning. You will very
speedily be compelled to lay
aside the light straws, with
their null and gauzes and
fancy flowers; for neat and
tasteful as summer fashion
was, cool weather calls for
closer head covering and
appropriate trimmings of
a heavier texture.
We are positioned to
show you what fashion has
invented for the fall season
of 1887.
Every day we are receiv-
ing shapes in straw and
felt goods-novelties and
accepted models of beauty
in Hats and Bonnets. On
Saturday we opened a line
of superb feathers, tips,
wings, &c., in numberless
variety, high-priced, me-
dunn quality, and the mod
crate cost. All that the rib
bon manufacturers have to
offer that is new we have
either received or are re-
ceiving daily; and in satins,
glace velVets, and all the
weightier textures our buy
ers have purchased with
liberality and commenda-
BILE judgment.
You are, therefore, in
vited to inspect our lines of
millinery specialties. You
may not be ready to order
just yet, but we can show
you new goods that will de-
light your eye and may pos
sibly just strike your fancy.

A New LANDMARK-Professo Davidson
reports that on his last trip to Oregon, when
engaged in sketching and photographing
the features of the coast and headlands, he
caught two views of Mt Shasta when he
was about latitude 400 &c., with Point St.
George bearing by compass northeast by
east, distant % miles. AT that position the
snow peak bore east by north by ships
compass, and was distant about 127 nauti-
cal miles. 1t showed through two gaps in
or near the line of the Klamath valley, and
was visible while the vessel sailed ahout
four miles on her course. The mountain
is visible on the horizon under ordinary
atmospheric conditions at distance OF 13S
nautical miles. 1t lies north $50 east 90
nautical miles from Point st. George, in

about six miles northwest of Jefferson. A
small farmhouse occupied by a man
named Lucklum was entirely consumed by
fire at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and Luck
lum's aged father, wife and son were
burned to death therein. Two neighboring
women saw the flames and tried to get in
but the doors were fastened, with the occu-
pants inside. This, together with the fact
that gun and revolver were found near
the remains of the old man, indicate foul

Choking Catarrh.

Have you awakened from disturbed sleep
with all the horrible sensations of an assassin
clutching your throat and pressing the life
breath from your frightened chest? Have you
noticed the languor and debility that succeed
the effort to clear your throat and head of this
catarrhal matter? What depressing influence
it exerts upon the mind, clouding the memory
and filling the head with pains and strange
noises How difficult it is to rid the nasal pas
sages. threat and lungs of this poisonous mucus
all can testify who are afflicted with catarrh.
How difficult to protect the system against its
further progress towards the lungs, liver and
kidneys, all ply sicians will admit. II is a ter
rible disease. and cries out for relief and cure.
The remarkable curative powers, when all
other remedies utterly fail, OF SANFoRD's RADl-
CAL CURE are attested by thousands who CRATE
fully recommend it to fellows sufferers. No state
ment is made regarding it that cannot be sub
stantiated by the most respectable and reliable
references.
Each packet contains one bottle of the RADI-
CAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT, and
an IMPROVE d INHALER. with treatise and direc
tons. and is sold by all druggists, for 81.
